Corlulu Ali Pasa Medresesi

Best place for having narghile in Istanbul. Lovely staff, keep refilling the coal, it’s a no frills place with lovely Turkish setup and lamps all over. If you want to smoke the sheesha you have to come here. No alcohol only a large variety of teas. We just love this place !!

My favorite place to hangout with friends and smoke shisha. A beautiful old architecture building with very local touch, the place where all locals go and very cheap but with a great ambiance. Love love love

Amazing place to smoke shisha and having tea or Turkish coffee. Beautiful ancient buildings with classic architecture and feels like back in many centuries ago

This is the best place with shisha, which is located in small yard, literally near the old Muslim cemetery. It’s possible to sit inside or outside, for guests who sit outside they have heating, so it’s comfortable even when weather is cold. Atmosphere is amazing, it’s very calm and you have a view to nearest mosque from the courtyard. Nargile is really good, it has smooth smoke, they change coals many times (which is for free), so you can enjoy one nargile for a long time. You can also have black or apple tea. We found this place in the begging of our staying in Istanbul and then came back several times. It’s easy to find this place during the day, but if you going there in the evening, just knock at a big wooden door.

What an amazing place! It's really amazing. A beautiful place during the day and magical at night with all those colorful lamps. It's an old madrassa where you can now taste a delicious Turkish tea and smoke a shisha. A must see in Istanbul. I especially recommend the apple tea.
